FX wildcat .25

EDIT, first group at 50 yards added below.......also this gun IS ABSOLUTLEY WHISPER QUIET in my opinion

I finally got my wildcat, this is my first FX rifle and I'm very pleased with it so far.

I do have one question tho, the first thing I noticed when I unboxed it was that the air cylinder is not center in the stock.

Is this normal, and if not how can I correct it? Here's a few poor iPhone pictures, thanks in advance 



















 
Thats a bummer. doubt it affects the operation, but you want it right. I would think it has to be where the stalk mates to the gun and the two mounting screws hold it that it's not exactly square. Try tightening one screw at a time and see if its on just one or both. Maybe there is a plastic burr on one side that didn't get cleaned off. Other then that ask who you bought it from what they want to do about it. FX has been exceptional taking care of its customers. If you bought it from AOA they have been great also.

I don't have a Wildcat but on my Cricket, you don't have to tighten the screws much. In fact, it's better if you don't. They make the inletting a precise and snug fit so you don't have to over-torque the screws as it can shift the POI. 

When end I first took my Cricket out of the stock, I tightened the screws until they couldn't move any further and it shifted the POI 2" to the right at 20 yards. Try loosening them. If the inletting is good, it shouldn't need much torque to keep the action firmly in-place. I keep mine at least a half turn looser than the tightest it could be.

If it is still to the side of where it should be, I would send it back or it will annoy you every time you look at it....

Did it arrive like that or did you take it out of the stock to make some adjustments?
